PUBG Corp. and developer Bluehole has published a new Xbox One update for PUBG today.

As usual, the new patch targets issues players have noted with the game and seeks to address them - the two main targets this time are directional sprinting (addressing something that was introduced in a previous patch) and loading times when entering matches.

"We’re putting out a hotfix today to improve directional sprinting and loading times when entering matches," reads a post from the developer.

These details apply to the Xbox One version of the game, which is being continually updated as it moves to a bigger update later this year.

You can check out the full patch notes for the Xbox One hotfix below.

The Sanhok (Previously Codename: Savage) - NEW Screenshots

PUBG's 4x4km Island map is the smallest map to date and will create a more intense much faster paced Battle Royale experience.

Analog Character Movement

"With the previous hotfix which introduced analog movement, sprinting diagonally using L-stick became much more difficult.

"To address this, we’ve widened the angle of movement for sprinting diagonally. Now the character will be able to sprint at a wider angle before having their speed reduced.

"Sudden hard changes in direction will still slow the player down (as it will break your tendons in real life)."

Loading

"Files have been repackaged to load more efficiently.

"Now, the time it takes to load into a game will be quicker. After our previous hotfix, players had reported experiencing a number of issues while trying to load into matches and this hotfix addresses those issues.

"Because we’ve repackaged the files to improve load times, the patch size will be quite large, despite this being a hotfix. We will continue to work on desync, sound issues and of course continue fixing bugs as well."

Last week, PUBG Corp. issued a statement about when we could see the next map drop on Xbox One consoles, too.

The newest update on the much-anticipated Sanhok map is that it should be coming in the next 6 weeks.

"We are targeting late Summer for Sanhok on Xbox One!" said a PUBG spokesperson... so that likely means we can see the game drop in August or September.

Then, following that statement, a PUBG producer has 'teased' fans by playing the map on Xbox One.

Nico Bahary, the executive producer for the game on Xbox One, teased the experience was 'smooth as butter'... so does that mean we could see it release soon? It seems likely.
